[QUOTE="nvts, post: 197008, member: 3814"] Hi Deni! Well, you clearly are the classic example of how the system has failed someone! I picked up this link for you to try and find a parent advocate in Tx. [URL]http://www.partnerstx.org[/URL] There's also an association called "CASA" that seems pretty busy around Texas. I agree with a lot of the mom's that you're getting roped into engaging him once a rage sets in. Take a look or "relook" at The Defiant Child" by Ross Greene. You need to get to him before "vapor lock" sets in and you should have a lot more luck breaking it off before it starts. Basically, you have a real complaint here with your local police department. If you don't get them properly engaged, this kid'll be running the show while you're in the pokey (not that jail sound much louder than what you're dealing with! I tell my kids all the time, that I'd probably get more rest in jail!). Keep letting us know what's going on. In NY we have a program called "PINS" where parents in need of assistance engage the court system for at risk teens. Maybe Tx has something similar? Good luck! Beth [/QUOTE]
